Boss went and got her C&C permit the other day. Lady helping her had 4 stacks of requests waiting. They are still getting them out in less than a month.

... as Congress considers tougher gun control measures.

I keep hearing this mantra repeated by the liberal media, yet I have called every office of the Republican House leadership and have been told by all. "Gun Control isn't on their agenda." "No gun control bill is being debated." "Any bill would have to originate in committee and none has been put on the calendar" So if is being "considered" it must be in the House bathroom...

"No gun control bill is being debated."

Disingenuous or misinformed or both.
They're not being so obvious. Magazine ban, bulk up existing bills to get what they want. Flying under the radar (hmmm... where have we heard THAT phrase before?)

See House Bill 65, now in the Judiciary committee.

See also House Bill 138, also in the Judicary.

We need to watch out for a “gut and amend” end run. They did that with Obamacare to get around the constitutional requirement that financial bills originate in the House.

But from what is it distracting? The debt-stuff?
